School of Nursing

A Welcome from Dean Howell

 The School of Nursing is celebrating a milestone in 2008, and I have much good news to share with you about your alma mater.

We are marking the 50th anniversary of our 4-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree program. While Creighton University has awarded the BSN since 1928, 50 years ago 15 young women were admitted and provided the opportunity to complete their entire academic- and clinical-based course of study as Creighton University degree-seeking students. We are so proud of these pioneers of collegiate nursing education and all of the nursing professionals who have received a Creighton University degree. We look forward to celebrating with you the many achievements of Creighton nurses.
